Five Smart Guys

This story came to us with an
explanation:
"Sorry my English language is not that mach. You may re-typed it in good style."

Five young men from country were new to big city, but
they'd heard how important it is to stand up for themselves when dealing with cab
drivers. Needing to return to airport, they stopped a taxi and all climbed in. All along the way they threaten the driver, saying, "We're smart, mister! Don't take the long way to airport or we know!" They continued, "We not pay you anything if you cheat us, mister, so be straight way." |
Arriving at the airport, the driver wanted to avoid a hassle with
the 5 passengers. He already had long day, and didn't need the problem, so he
reduced the fare by one-half of normal.
As the car came to a stop, the driver said, "O.K. We've arrived at the airport,
and......."
| "What's your fare, mister?!" the leader
interrupted rudely. "And remember we smart about you
guys," he reminded the driver one more time. "Ha", said the leader. "We know you kind, we only pay $10!. Got it......$10!" |
 |
Not wanting to disturb the passengers, the driver conceded:
"O.K., O.K., what-ever is fair."
As each of the 5 passengers began getting their wallets out, one whisper to another,
"We sure show him!"
Yeah....only $10 each! We so smart!
Funny how we can be dead sure.... and have it all wrong. Even so, both sides got what the believed in..... or did they?a classic money exchange from Abbott & Costello: (25sec)
